 (music: denner/lyrics: diamond)
1640. the caribbean sea, the wind was just a breeze
Heading for a western shore, the barque was sailing eastClose hauled into the eyeThe "unicorn" was riding high on the tideAnd the rum went down their throats...with a twist of wine
Just...after midnight, nobody saw the antigua shoreJust...after midnight, nobody heard the thunder roarOhh...they were heading straight for the reefsJust...after midnight, they were caught by the storm
Solo: shermann - denner
1640. the caribbean sea, the wind was not just a breeze
The captain and the crew were fighting for their livesBut they didn't stand a chance with their drunken mindsGoing down...to their watery gravesGoing down...going down...
Fifteen men and a bottle of rumIt's the captain and the crew of the "unicorn"
Listen hard on a stormy nightAnd you just might hear them singing that rhymeOh yeah...a ghost that never diesFifteen men and a bottle of rumIt's the captain stuck in the "unicorn"Oh yeah...a ghost that never diesIt's a warning, storm is coming, yeah, you better look out
